Players with a long fast swing style will find the most from this racquet's potential. With some useful mass and excellent plow trough, the X-Black 94 provides a high level of stability even during heavy hitting rallies. From the baseline the 18x20 string pattern places an emphasis on control and feel. Players will find they can swing out aggressively with this one without fear of over hitting. Our TW testers found excellent bite on slice shots, with enough spin and plow through to hit a knifing slice. At net the racquet is solid, stable and precise. All the feel and control an advanced player could want is offered, along with a smooth and comfortable feel. There is excellent all court potential with this racquet for 4.5+ level players who utilize an all court game.
